Little Penguin (Sung to: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Little penguins black and white
on the ice, what a sight!

watch them as they slip and slide. 
Little penguins black and white
on the ice, what a sight!

I'm a little penguin (Sung to: I'm a little teapot)
I'm a little penguin short and stout
Flap my wings and waddle about
I wear a coat that's black as night
but my tummy is soft and white.
I'm a little penguin short and stout
I like to waddle across the ice.
When I reach the water, I dive right in.
Hunt for fish as I swim, swim, swim.
